I was having the exact same issue and was able to downgrade the firmware to 2022.12.08.
What I did was copy the .img file onto a FAT32 formatted USB stick and named the file “Auto_Box_Update.img”.
*Plugged the Carlinkit to an outlet
*insert the USB
*set timer for 5mins
*remove from outlet and remove USB stick
*React CarPlay working
here is the FW:
It seems that the dongle can be connected to pi right now. However there is a transfer issue. Is this still related to the firmware?
Hi Ben, yes that is the firmware issue. I’d say either wait for the latest version which should resolve this, or give the downgrade a go
Thanks a lot for the file and clear instructions!
No prob! When are you releasing the new firmware?
@ygoz is currently dong some amazing work on the underlying package of node-carplay, once that’s merged I will build a new one!
@here @Rienus an early beta version is up, which should support the newer dongles, very early and rough version but if it could be tested and verified that would be great
Hey, I had today some time to try this new beta. It works very well. At least connecting to dongle. In earlier versions, sometimes I was having issues to connect at start off app. Now is very good.
What is more, application runs very smooth.
The main thing that I need in my configuration is keyboard working and keybinding.
So I’m looking forward on next betas. I can offer testing newer versions.
Good Job 
Awesome, thanks for testing, I can’t take any credit for this new one, @ygoz has done most of the hard work!
Keep your eyes open for future versions, should be on every couple of days until it’s out of beta
Dear great developer
I, like others, could not get a good connection.
Today I tested your v4 beta with CPC200-CCPA.
It did not work well and I would like to share the information.

A button labeled “Plug-In Carplay Dongle and Press” appears in the Electron window.
I connect the CPC200-CCPA to my iPhone (iOS 17.0.1) and click, but nothing happens.
It does not exit as it did in the previous 3.0.1 version.
Can you give some more information? Pi OS version, 64bit vs 32bit, and also do you have the udev rules in place?
Thanks for reply
I am using 64bit RaspberryPi OS

I hope this information is helpful
Thanks, one last thing, can you do an lsusb with the device plugged in?
Hi, beta 2 is available now, please give that a go, I think yours likely didn’t work because I forgot the add the newer dongle product IDs in.
Thanks
Rhys
Wow, I have to say, v4 first impressions are it is a massive improvement. Love the move to typescript and the folder structure is much more developer friendly. Cannot wait to jump in and hack away! great work guys.
I apologize for the delay in responding.
I am still using beta 1.
And this is the result of lsusb right after connecting the dongle.
$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1314:1521 Magic Communication Tec. Auto Box
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2109:3431 VIA Labs, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
After a while, this window appears on my machine.
And soon this will happen.
The lsusb at that time is as follows.
$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2109:3431 VIA Labs, Inc. Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
I’ll try beta 2 later!
Ok yeah your dongle had the product ID of 1521 so it wouldn’t have detected, please do try beta2 hopefully it will pick it up!
Hi, I’m running into the same issue here where the interface won’t load with the same product id 1521, I gave beta2 a try and it still doesn’t seem to be loading.
I just tried v4 beta2.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t test it for another reason.
Electron (Chromium?) doesn’t seem to start.
I can start Chromium on x desktop nomaly.

It stops here and nothing happens.
I tried “apt-get install chromium” with the same result.
chromium is already the newest version (117.0.5938.132-1~deb11u1).
I am passing this information on so that it may be of some use to you in the future.
Are you running 64bit RaspiOS? That looks to me like you have run the armv7l version when you should be running the 64bit one
